As I presume my young artist to be an enthusiast, he must first go direct to Niagara, or even in the Mohawk valley his pinioned wing may droop. If his fever run very high, he may slake his thirst at Trenton, and while there, he will not dream of any thing beyond it.

What an unspeakable luxury it was to slake that thirst with the pure and limpid ice-water of the glacier!

Moreover, thou wast ignorant illiterate uninformed: now all the sources of knowledge all the springs of learning all the fountains of science and art, are at thy disposal, and with whose waters thou canst slake the thirst of thine intellect.
Master Horrigan contrived to fashion his hat into some manner of drinking receptacle, and after some passing reluctance I was induced to slake my thirst with the aid of this; but I am sure I should never care to drink regularly from a boy's hat. Our thirst being sated, the lads manifested an inclination to remove their garments and dash headlong into the waters of the lake; but I said them nay.
